Bill Belichick Admits Patriots Have Been Tipping Plays

Nov 10, 2022 8:44 AM

Bill Belichick has admitted that the Indianapolis Colts knew the New England Patriots' plays ahead of time in Week 9.

When asked about Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard calling out plays before the snap, Belichick was candid about the issue.

"We definitely want to prevent that," Belichick said. "I thought that there were two or three plays for sure that Leonard really got a big jump on and stopped us basically on those plays."

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley was also calling out plays before the snap in Week 8.

"Mosley got a couple of those a couple of weeks ago in the Jets game -- it almost looked like he heard the play in the huddle, he was on it so fast," Belichick said. "Leonard had a couple like that, too. So, whether it was something we were giving away or something that he anticipated based on whatever the keys were that he might have picked up, we certainly want to try to prevent that."

Tom Brady threw a 15-yard pass to Leonard Fournette in the second quarter on Sunday to become the first quarterback in NFL history to surpass 100,000 career passing yards in the regular season and postseason combined. 

He also notched his 43rd career fourth-quarter comeback, tying Peyton Manning for the most by a quarterback.

"That's crazy," Mike Evans said. "Like I don't know if that'll ever be touched. He's the GOAT for a reason. Congrats to him."
